Another object of this invention is to provide a bed lamp which may be as efliciently used to serve a pair of spaced ble bed.

A further object of this invention twin beds as a single douis toprovide, for projectnomical of construction.

These, and other objects and advantages of my invention, will be more completely described and disclosed in the f cured on the central socket, the central tially greater than lowing specification, the actrack member, a lamp in the track member being substanhalf the length of the lamp, centered in the central track equal in length to the space between the central track member and the end track member.

A preferred illustrated in which:

Fig. 1 is a fr lamp,

Fig. 2 is a side Fig.3isalon embodiment of my invention is the accompanying drawing, in

out elevational view of the bed elevational view, gitudinal sectional view,

Fig. 4 is a line 4-4 of Fig. 5 is a ter members.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, in which like numerals refer to cross sectional view, taken on the Fig. 3, and

perspective view of one of the shutaligned with the grooves 5, are similarly secured in the casing I. Cylindrical shutters 9, formed with rectangular openings III, are rotatably supported in the tracks shutters 9 are provided with extending operating ears, or fingers II, the rear wall 2 20 of the casing I to'limit the open position of the respectively, in Fig. 4.

A strap member I3 is track member 4 and provides a support for a lamp so that, with one or the shutters closed, shutting 01! its light beam, no encroachment of the other light beam on the shaded area is possible.

What I claim is:

5 member having 20 her, cylindrical shutters Llnabedlamp eonstructiomacasingopen at one side, a pair of independently operable cylindrical shutters adapted to close said opening, said shutters being axially aligned and spaced from each other, revolvably supporting said shutters, each of said shutters being formed with an opening, a barrier member between said shutters, a lamp supported on said barrier member and in the center of said barrier member, whereby light beams proiected through the openings in said shutters will be separated by a shadow cast by said barrier member.

A bed lamp comprising a shade member in said shade tral track member, a lamp in the socket, the central track member being substantially greater in width than half the length of said lamp and the lamp being centered in the central track member, a cylindrical shutter revolvably supported be,- tween the central track member and each of the end track members and formed with a light opening extending from the end track member to the central track member, whereby either 0! the shutter members may be operated independently of the other.

4. In a bed lamp construction, a shade member, a pair of independently operable shutters revolvably supported in axially aligned, each of said shutters being formed with a light openin a partition mem ber separating said shutters, a lamp supported on and centered in said partition member, whereby light beams emitted by said lamp through said openings will be separated by said partition.
